The hallway thrums with voices and slamming lockers. A shaft of late‑afternoon sun cuts through the tall windows and catches on a girl with dark, silky hair, highlighting a face so pretty it stops your breath.

She untangles herself and takes a few steps closer, a shy, curious smile touching her lips. "Hey…" she says, her voice soft, almost tentative.
